Father’s Day Gift Guide

With Father’s Day just around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to put together a last minute gift guide! My daddio’s gift is already in the mail, and will hopefully be delivered by Sunday, but either way, it’s the thought that counts, right?! (My husband would disagree with this - real thought shows forethought... oi!).

If you haven’t already purchased a gift, here’s a quick guide of five items that were on my radar.

Peter Millar ShirtThese shirts are great for running around town, playing tennis or golf, or hanging around home – basically, it’s the perfect weekend shirt! And, according to my fashionista husband, the 3 buttons with the sleeve trims that blend into the shirt are totally in right now.

Office Décor

People spend so much time at work, and you can never have too much personality in your office (okay, yes you can... stuffed animals? Not into them… at home or at work – yet they seem to be a pretty popular office accessory everywhere I go... I just don’t get it). Anyway, I’m more of a picture frame kinda girl. Which, if you ask me, is a pretty perfect office accessory for Father’s Day!

Steaks

Did you know that you can order nice meat online and have it delivered? Because you can!

And if your dad likes to grill, then this may be a pretty perfect gift. First, who doesn’t love getting packages in the mail? And Secondly, who doesn’t love steak and summer grilling? When you combine the two, it basically becomes the best gift ever. The man’s version of flowers!

Sporting Tickets

Unfortunately I don’t live near my dad (otherwise this would always be my go-to gift), but if you do live nearby, buy you and your dad tickets to a baseball game (or some other event that he would enjoy... concert, golf tournament, etc.). I have a lot of fond memories going to baseball games with my dad when growing up, so this would be a fun way to continue the tradition! As they say, experiences (and memories) are more precious than possessions.

Home Depot Gift Card

Okay, call this unoriginal if you’d like, but if you ask me, this is a pretty practical gift... and I don’t know about your dad, but mine’s a pretty practical guy. Not to mention gift cards are like the gift that keeps on giving – you get to be excited when you open it, and you get to be excited when you use it. Can’t go wrong with that!

No matter what you get your dad, I am sure he will love it... That’s what so great about them!

Happy Father’s Day, Dad! I am so thankful to have you in my life. You’ve provided such a great example of Godliness, selflessness, and hard work... thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do for me. Love you!

My husband has the mint green and navy blue Peter Millar shirt and he is obsessed with them! Says they are the most comfortable shirts he owns! The steak idea is awesome, that would definitely be a hit. Keeping that in mind for next year.
